GTK-Doc-1.8

Introduction to GTK-Doc

The GTK-Doc package contains a
code documentor. This is useful for extracting specially formatted
comments from the code to create API documentation. This package is
optional; if it is not
installed, packages will not build the documentation. This does not
mean that you will not have any documentation. If GTK-Doc is not available, the install process
will copy any pre-built documentation to your system.

Installation of GTK-Doc

This parameter is used so that all ScrollKeeper files are installed in, and the
